The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) Medicaid Waiver is a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) program, administered by the New York State Department of Health (DOH). The NHTD waiver uses Medicaid funding to provide support and services to assist individuals with disabilities or seniors toward successful inclusion in the community. Waiver participants may come from a nursing facility or other institution (transition), or choose to participate in the waiver to prevent institutionalization (diversion). Waiver services may be considered when informal support, local, State and federally funded services and Medicaid State Plan services are not sufficient to assure the health and welfare of the individual in the community, or when waiver services are a more efficient use of Medicaid funds.

The waiver is a useful program to prevent seniors and/or individuals with disabilities from institutionalization.

The philosophy of the program is that individuals with disabilities and/or seniors have the same rights and therefore should be in control of their lives, encounter and manage risks and learn from their experiences.

Each participant in the waiver will have a Service Coordinator who will assist them in gaining access to needed services, as well as other local, state and federally funded educational, vocational, social, medical and any other services.
